Women in West Africa are fighting at the forefront for basic human rights to feed and keep their families healthy.

 They are fighting against a fishmeal and fish oil industry that threatens secure food, jobs and healthy oceans.

Most fishmeal and fish oil factories in West Africa are owned by foreign companies.

They are stealing staple food from the people of West Africa to feed farmed fish in the aquaculture industry, as well as pigs, chickens, and even pets in Europe and Asia.

Stand 4 women and communities in West africa. Add your name.

Press Release

Stop new logging plans

Lifting the ban would put at risk an area of rainforest the size of France, resulting in land grabs, social conflict and the exacerbation of the climate and biodiversity crises.
